I'm trying to wrap my head around who is making the decisions in the Harris campaign. Every move seems like it was cooked up by radical leftist liberal arts majors fresh out of college, and not by any seasoned political strategist who knows what they're doing. Judging from the "Brat" approach to going on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, I just imagine the Harris campaign heads to be a bunch of "diverse" women no older than 25, making knee-jerk decisions and with no clear long-term strategy.
As I've been saying for some time, Democrats are lacking a massive chunk of the voting population in their voting base; men. In a recent YouTube video I made, I cover how the Democrats have been scrambling to fill that gap by creating a "new masculinity" which are men with little to no masculinity at all. They hold up people like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff as models that all men should follow and come out with groups like "White Dudes for Harris," all of which do a horrendous job of hiding their disdain for masculinity and everyday men, even while they're trying to attract us to their cause.
By the way, Emhoff is a reported abuser of women and, from the sound of it, a grade-A sociopath.
To cement the idea that they have no idea how to approach men, they decided to send out Tim Walz to help fill the gap and attract that masculinity that the Democrat Party lacks. This just proves that they have no idea who men are anymore, especially young men, who have largely gone conservative.
According to Politico, Harris's running mate will air sit-downs with influencers and media personalities where he'll talk about things men love like football and hunting:
It’ll start with a one-on-one interview with ABC Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan, a former NFL football player, at the University of Minnesota’s football stadium, airing on Friday morning. In the sitdown, the pair will discuss how Walz’s coaching career prepared him for politics and will feature some of his former students. Walz will also appear in a round of local TV interviews in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — which the campaign hopes will center on high school football and hunting. In Michigan, later on Friday, Walz will headline a voter engagement event with Black men.
Then, the governor will return to Minnesota, where he’ll deliver the pep talk to Mankato West’s football team, his former football squad, ahead of their game against rivals Mankato East. And on Saturday morning, Walz will take a group of social media influencers, including veterans advocate David Boomer and a Black rodeo star Ramontay McConnell, pheasant hunting in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
Funny enough, even Politico of all places isn't too sure this is going to work:
But even as some Democrats had hoped Walz, a former teacher who has strong ties to labor, could help Harris connect with blue-collar voters, that hasn’t necessarily worked. Notably, the International Association of Fire Fighters declined to endorse Harris or Trump earlier this month, a snub for the Harris campaign that came as a surprise to her staffers. It may also be a challenging mission to bring over more men to Harris’ campaign, which has seen much of its strength built off of its popularity with female voters.
Politico is putting it nicely here. The Democrat Party has been shoring up its vote with female voters for decades by attempting to paint them as victims of men and Republicans, and it's worked very well. The issue is that in order to do that, they had to paint men as villainous through and through, even going so far as to launch innumerable campaigns aimed at villainizing masculinity and generating marches based on a mythical patriarchy holding women down.
One of the big reasons young men have largely distanced themselves from the Democrat Party is because they were repeatedly told they weren't welcome there and the only way they would be is if they forsook their masculinity and adopted a more feminized version of it. This leads to either the male feminist, one of the most toxic, angry, and abusive kind of man out there, or in some extreme cases, the transgender.

Men naturally checked out and found themselves in the Republican Party.
The idea that men will suddenly turn around and come back to the Democrat Party because Tim Walz — a man who thinks putting tampons in little boys' bathrooms is wise — talked about football and hunting is, frankly, stupid. I can only see this doing more damage in the long-run because, as I said earlier, the Democrats are so used to insulting and denigrating men that even when they're trying to attract men, they're saying repulsive things about them.
Walz is not going to suddenly become relatable to men, and if he actually did, it would only turn a chunk of Harris's feminist base off.

The brutal truth is that if the Democrat Party wants men to come back, it has to stop treating them like there's something inherently wrong with them, treat them with respect, and actually adopt masculine qualities... and that's not going to happen anytime soon. The Democrats cannot do that, or much of their ideological foundation falls apart, and the entire party would begin moving toward the center.
And the only thing more repulsive to the modern Democrat Party than men, is centrist thinking.
